Panasonic FZ8<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Pros: 1. 12X optical zoom w\/ reliable OIS ; <\/p>\n 2. Light & realitively compact! 340 g\/113 x 72 x 79 mm (Lithium-ion batteries); Possible for me to carry around! <\/p>\n 3. Affordable (Around $300, including battery; SD cards are also cheap)<\/p>\n Cons: 1. No wide-angle (Can buy an inexpensive wide-angle converter at around $40 on Ebay but the quality is not guaranteed)<\/p>\n 2. 1\/2.5″ CCD, picture quality not as great as Fuji; noise problems at low ISO settings + too much noise reduction at high ISO (used Panasonic FZ5 once and was not sure I liked the color and pictures esp. those shot in very bright light; didn’t try it in very low light though)<\/p>\n Fuji S6000fd<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Pros: 1. Very attractive 28-300mm (10.7X) zoom<\/p>\n 2. 1\/1.7″ CCD, very good image quality esp. in low light conditions; SLR-like <\/p>\n 3. Similarly affordable (Around $250 after rebates at this time; AA batteries cost nothing; but 2Gb XD card is around $50)<\/p>\n Cons: 1. Too bulky, 700 g \/131 x 98 x 128 mm , even heavier & bigger than many DSLRs, too inconvenient to carry :(((((((((( <\/p>\n 2. No OIS, questionable usability at tele end of zoom (but there won’t be too much need for a really long end zoom for me)<\/p>\n 3. XD cards always turn me off (but I can try to overcome it…)<\/p>\n What I want\/need:<\/u><\/strong> <\/p>\n Portability \/ Wide-angle & long zoom -__-b \/ Sharp pictures w\/ vivid color \/ Durability<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not sure whether I missed anything… but so far I really couldn’t make up my mind \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Comments welcome: Panasonic FZ8 Pros: 1. 12X optical zoom w\/ reliable OIS ; 2.
